Who Should I Start? Michael Mayer or Luke Musgrave

Tuesday, November 18, 9:31 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is often overlooked due to the presence of his star teammate and fellow tight end Brock Bowers. However, Mayer has maintained a consistent role in his team's passing game even since Bowers returned in Week 9 from a knee injury that forced him to miss multiple games. Over the last three weeks, Mayer has recorded nine catches for 61 yards on 15 targets. While the overall ineptitude of the Raiders' offense limits Mayer's upside, his stable target volume provides a decent floor in PPR fantasy leagues. He's not worth a starting spot in the vast majority of fantasy formats, but Mayer could be a player to monitor in deep leagues.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave continues to sit atop the team's depth chart, but he has failed to fill the void left by Tucker Kraft (knee). Kraft suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9, but Musgrave has just six catches for 57 yards over his last two games. The 25-year-old has not even been a fantasy-relevant streamer, let alone the mid-to-high TE1 that Kraft was when healthy. A Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants could help Musgrave's stock, but he's still a non-factor in most fantasy leagues. Managers can leave him on waivers and should look elsewhere for mid-season help at the tight end position.
